The title page continues "now published By his Divine Command for the good of all Men. by John Wright, His Servant, and one of the Brethren." John Wright was a carpenter from Leeds, who heard preachers speak of "wonderful light [.] of which Baron Swedenborg was the forerunner". In April 1788 Wright felt called to travel through London then (with William Bryan) through France to the society at Avignon (European Illuminists) where they met a group of disciples of the mystic Emanuel Swedenborg returning to London in September 1789. Much of the book is an account of "Remarkable Prophecies revealed to the Spiritual Society at Avignon, relative to the Present Times, and approaching Latter Days", published here in the form of a letter from Richard Brothers. (Richard Brothers (1757-1824) who called himself 'the Nephew of the Almighty' and probably best known for his influence on the poetry of William Blake) became a self-declared prophet: Wright, Bryan, and the engraver William Sharp were among his disciples. There are still believers in his teachings of British Israelism). Brothers's prophecies are followed by "A Collection of Wonderful Sentences, Quotations, Questions, and Prophecies. selected from the Spiritual Society", and then "Sentences, Moral Maxims, and Spiritual Instructions, extracted out of Answers from Heaven". Wright's "Revealed Knopwledge" has a Swedenborgian tone, and it is possible that the Society was part of the Swedenborg Rite: a society of such was founded in Avignon in 1773, modelled on Freemasonry and based on Swedenborg's teachings. Wright's society may well have been part of the hermetic teachings of the Benedictine Monk Dom Antoine Joseph Pernety. Although he is not named in the text, Pernety founded an initiate society called the Illumines d'Avignon ("Illuminated Ones of Avignon"). The group is said to have taught occult philosophies and meta-physical rituals drawing on alchemy and Swedenborgian ideas. The second part 'Remarkable Prophecies' mentions the prophecies of Jeremiah, death of King of Prussia and the Mahometans. Wright's publication is scarce, and a fascinating glimpse into the some of the spiritual and hermetic ideas of the time. From the library of New Churchman Claude Toby.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 10 short books and pamphlets bound together. The binding is broken into sections, as noted below.

Hornblower & Maberly: For Infrignement on Mr. Watt's Patent for the Improvement on the Steam Engine By Joseph Bramah, engineer. London. John Stockdale. 1797. 90 pages. None available. Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769. Hornblower invented a compound steam engine in 1781, but it was judged to be an infringement on Watt's patent, so he was not able to pursue it, even though it was more efficient and more powerful than Watt's. This short book is a detailed explanation of why Hornblower's work is original and why the judgement against him should be reconsidered. ** A Reply to the Monthly Reviewers; and some letters between them and the Author By A Suffolk Freeholder.
